Thank you for taking part in our consultation on the proposals.

Decision following consultation?

We received a good number of responses, and most people supported the proposed waiting restrictions. Many also suggested that a wider scheme would help, pointing out specific areas where parking causes problems. We’ve updated the plans to include these areas, so they’ll be better protected.

Some residents raised concerns that reducing parking could make things harder for those living nearby, pointing out the problem mostly happens during the day. We reviewed the plans carefully to keep as much parking as possible while still allowing traffic to flow safely. We also looked at daytime-only restrictions, but agreed these locations aren’t suitable for parking at any time, so double yellow lines are the best option.

A number of people, both for and against the proposals, asked about a permit parking scheme. Unfortunately, because there’s very limited on-street parking compared to the number of homes, this wouldn’t work well. It would mean only one permit per household and a cost for each permit. Many people told us they’d expect permits to be free. For these reasons, a permit scheme isn’t suitable here.

After considering all the feedback, we’ve decided to go ahead with the proposals in an amended form. Please see the updated plan SN01_Centenary_Way_SAR.

We’ll now let the developer know and ask them to install the new road markings as soon as possible. Please note that the new waiting restrictions won’t come into effect until all the work is finished on site.

What are we consulting on?

Cormac, on behalf of Cornwall Council, is inviting comments on a proposal to introduce sections of 'No waiting, at any time' restrictions (double yellow lines) along Centenary Way in Truro.

Why are we doing this?

Centenary Way currently experiences ongoing problems with on-street parking. These issues are affecting residents and making it difficult for essential services—such as refuse collection and emergency vehicles—to access the area safely and efficiently.

The road is not wide enough to support large volumes of parked vehicles, especially when larger vehicles need to pass through. Inappropriate parking can block access, cause delays, and create safety concerns.

To help resolve this, we are proposing new parking restrictions. These changes are designed to formalise parking arrangements and prevent vehicles from parking in unsuitable locations. The aim is to improve access for residents, support the safe movement of service vehicles, and reduce disruption for everyone who uses the road.
